Best 3 Baked Crispy Chickpea Seitan Patties Recipes

BAKED CRISPY CHICKPEA SEITAN PATTIES RECIPE - (4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C, or gas mark 4). Oil two cookie sheets *or line with parchment paper. Add everything except the wheat gluten flour and bread crumbs to a food processor and purée. Add 2⁄3 cup (80 g) of the gluten flour and process until combined. Then process a minute or two more, letting the food processor do the kneading for you. Put the mixture on a cutting board. Knead in the remaining 1⁄3 cup (40 g) wheat gluten. Cut the dough into 10 pieces, roll into little balls, and press into patties between your hands. You want to make the patties thinner than your desired end result because they will puff up some during baking. Spread the bread crumbs on a plate and press the patties into the crumbs, and then turn and press on the other side. The dough should still be wet enough for the bread crumbs to stick. Place the breaded patties on the sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes. Flip them over using a wide spatula and bake for 5 to 10 minutes more. Serving Suggestions & Variations Shape the dough into stars, strips, nuggets, or other shapes before coating. These freeze well, so make a double batch and enjoy them for a few effortless meals. Think vegan cheese and marinara sauce, use them in sandwiches, or use them to veganize some of your old favorite recipes.

CRISPY CAJUN CHICKPEA CAKES (VEGAN)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Saute onion, green pepper, and celery for 5-7 mins, until softened. Remove from heat.
• Place chickpeas in a food processor along with the onion mixture. Pulse until chickpeas are no longer whole, but don't process them too much. Place chickpeas in a bowl and add spices, hot sauce, and parsley. Mix well. Add flour and cornstarch and mix well. Place in the fridge for 30 minutes.
• Heat oil in a frying pan over med/med-hi heat (around 350 degrees). Shape chickpea mixture into 12 patties and fry in batches, about 2-3 mins per side, or until crispy and browned. Flip a few times if they are browning too quickly.

CHICKPEA SAMOSAS RECIPE - (5/5)

Steps:

• To make the pastry, combine the flour and salt in a large bowl. Make a well in the centre and add the melted butter and 5 tbsp warm water. Mix with a round-bladed knife to form a dough, adding another 1 - 3 tsp water if the mixture seems too dry. Tip onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 - 10 mins to a smooth dough. Wrap in cling film and leave to rest in a cool part of the kitchen for at least 30 mins. For the filling, heat the oil in a wide frying pan or wok. Add the curry powder, garam masala, cumin and turmeric and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Next, add the onion, garlic, ginger and chilli and cook until the onion is softened and the spices are fragrant, about 4 - 5 mins. Tip in the chickpeas, then add the water and salt. Cook, stirring gently, until most of the water has been absorbed, then take off the heat. Stir in the peas and lemon juice to taste. Transfer to a bowl and let cool completely. Divide the pastry into 6 or 7 equal pieces. Now roll out the pastry and shape the samosas following my guide (on the preceding pages). Heat a 6cm depth of oil in a deep heavy-based saucepan or wok over a medium heat to 180 - 190ºC. To test, drop a bread cube into the oil; it should sizzle on contact. Deep-fry the samosas in batches until golden brown and crisp, 6 - 8 mins. Drain on a tray lined with kitchen paper and keep warm in a low oven while cooking the rest. Serve hot or warm.
